Signature Wedding Cocktail Service Tips
To begin, when serving guests for a wedding, it is important to remember the following.

That way, our bartenders stay a few drinks ahead of the rush keeping the lines flowing – a must for a successful wedding bar. Nobody wants to have to spend too much time in line for a drink. Now, let’s get to the cocktails! The following section will share some common favorites in the hopes of helping you find your signature drinks.
